So I got a Keurig for Christmas. Total nice surprise from the in-laws. I’ve been trying to find the perfect Mocha from it, since that’s my favorite coffee type drink. I don’t like the Cafe Escapes because of the artificial sweetener. So I experimented today to make my own mocha at home. Here’s what I used:
- Dark Roast or Espresso Roast K- Cup
- About 1/3 – 1/2 cup milk
- Chocolate Syrup to taste – about 1-2 tablespoons
I warmed the milk up in the microwave for about 1 minute, then I put the Keurig on the medium sized setting. I stirred the chocolate syrup in and added the milk to taste.
For my first trial of this, I used the Obsidian coffee by Caribou, but I think it could be even better with the proper espresso roast. Enjoy!
Update! I tried this method with Emeril’s Big Easy Bold K-cups and it was great! I liked it a tad better than the Obsidian because of the undertones that one has.
Update – May, 2013 I tried this with Gevalia Dark Royal Roast K-cups and it’s my favorite of the 3 dark roasts for making a mocha. Nice and smooth and no weird extra flavor in these!
I will have to try this as an iced version over the next day or so. I will let you know how it turned out!!
Let me know how it goes! I’ve not tried it iced yet.
